I went to Richwoods High School in Peoria, got a football scholarship to Northwestern University, and started writing for money (mere pittance) after graduation in 1971.
If you need to know more, let me know. I can go on and on. PS-- I once scored 108 points in a men's league game in Bridgeport, Chicago. Six-foot and under league (I'm, a little over 6-1), four-on-four, gym (McGuane Park) so tiny you had to put your foot against the wall to take the ball out. Henry's Bait Shop (us) vs. Seemo's Schnozzles (all short and mostly drunk). Scorer ran out of room in book. FYI.

Unnecessary swearing (as all of it is), misusing God's holy name. This book was filled with meanness; by school/team mates, jerk of a coach, older sister and a mom with selfishness and lack of compassion and love. I wondered how the main character could be such a nice kid in spite of all of it. Something very special came his way because of the caring of a superstar. Huge lessons for today's youth: No matter how badly you are treated, you can choose something better.
